This article is an opinion piece about colorism in response to a documentary about dark skinned women called "Dark Girls".  It talks about how even though blacks are still looked down upon by some whites, they are even now being figuratively segregated by other races and cultures.  As I talked about in a previous blog,  Beyonce is a lighter dark skinned person, and sometimes they lighten her more, and some people don't appreciate that.  They think that people view her as what all dark skinned people should look like, which obviously is not the case.  In the documentary, it shows girls who want to bleach their skin so they can look lighter and "beautiful".  That is really tragic to think that people will go to such poisonous lengths to look like how they think society wants them to look.  Even though this article is biased, the point is true enough.  It is ridiculous for minorities to be racist themselves, when they don't like being looked down upon because of their race.  In order to have worldwide respect and peace, everyone needs to move on and not care about a color.  It's just a color.
